King Promise Knew He Would Win Artiste of the Year

On May 12, 2025, King Promise spoke with Cookie Tee on TV3’s New Day. He claimed he was confident about winning Artiste of the Year at the Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA).

He felt deserving of the title due to his hard work. When asked if he would feel cheated if someone else won, he avoided answering directly.

King Promise emphasized that his focus is always on music, not industry drama. His latest album performed well and boosted his confidence.

He mentioned that negative thinking does not help artists succeed. Instead, he chose to stay positive and focused during the awards show.

King Promise, whose real name is Gregory Bortey Newman, won the award on May 10, 2025. The event took place at the Grand Arena in Accra.

He was a favorite for the award after a successful year filled with hit songs and international recognition. His music blends highlife, afrobeat, and R&B styles.

His collaborations with top African and international stars expanded his audience reach. King Promise's album received praise and strong streaming numbers this year.

His live shows attracted large crowds, reflecting his growing fan base. Following his win, social media reactions poured in from fans celebrating him.

One user expressed indifference about future awards since King Promise had won this one. Another shared their happiness for him and called it well-deserved.

Ghanaian dancehall artist Stonebwoy also reacted to the TGMA results. He won three awards but lost Artiste of the Year to King Promise.

Stonebwoy reflected on his journey in music and stressed hard work over fame. He thanked his fans for their support and motivation to represent Ghana globally.
